    As it stands they play the play the 5 above em at least once. Next 2 are against 7th and 8th if it ends up looking like that after 33 games they'll play those again. Every chance I'd say.

    Every chance mate as long as we keep winning but it will be tight and possibly go to the wire.
    A defeat today would have meant almost certain relegation.

    Not sure. I suppose if you have had a team at home twice then you’ll face them away but it sometimes doesn’t work out like that.
    Crazy situation. Could only happen in Scotland.

    That all sounds very complex to me !
    How long did the EFL persist with relegation play-offs ?
    Don’t think it was long

    Well still a long way to go Mal. We now have to play the other 5 teams in the bottom 6.
    The fixtures come out on Monday.

    You seem to be a team in form of late. All bodes well for the last 5 games.

    Basically just now have a proper manager who knows what he is doing and is able to get the best out of the players.

    I seem to remember in the top flight. the team above the automatic relegation places going into the play offs. And was all for it. But given the massive gap in finances nowadays and parachute payments, it's a big disadvantage to those in the championship. So would be against it. The thought that a team like Everton may be given a second chance to stay up via play offs. Rather than say luton. Would stick in the throat.

    Well, 3 defeats in a row… if Utd lose to Kilmarnock on Wednesday, does that mean you’re dooooomed ( Dr Finlay ) ?

    The way we are playing and the players confidence at rock bottom I’d say it’s safe to say we are down now.
    BUT win at home to Killie on Wednesday gives us a last fighting chance. Our last game is away to Motherwell and Killie have to play Ross County that day.

    Cheers Mal. Hopefully we can at least win this one at home tonight.
    I’m beginning to feel the tension building.

    Hey Ian kid, I was going to ask summat about Gary Bowyer as well, at the Dens Park navy blues.
    I haven't checked the results, but does that mean relegation ?. :(

    I'm soz to hear that Ian mate, and I know we can have a laugh with the England thing at times, and it might get a little bit naughty ehh lol.
    But I don't wish this on you and your team mate, it's hard to know what to say isn't it, in this situation. :(
